About HPE
Elevating the Standards
of Talent in Zambia
HPE is the platform Zambian talented youths go to expose their craft, build an audience, and earn a living from what they love.
Our Mission
"To elevate the standards of talent here in Zambia."
We provide an equal environment where through consistent effort and creative work, every talented Zambian gains the same exposure — regardless of their financial circumstances.
Our Vision
Zambia's #1 creative platform — and the continent's entertainment ecosystem.
To be the number one platform connecting creators to audiences, media houses to creatives — boosting the entertainment industry across Zambia and beyond.
The Problem We're Solving
Talent was never the issue.
The system was.
"By Chilenje Hall, creatives in art and dance would gather — passionate people who loved what they did. But I learned quickly that many struggled with finances. Unable to afford gadgets to document their work and show it to the world. Months down the line, only those with some income could push their talents forward. Only a few got recognised and hired. That discouraged many."
— Joseph Mwale, Founder & CEO
HPE was built to remove that barrier. A platform where your talent and consistency — not your bank account — determines your reach.
No local platform to monetise talent
YouTube & Patreon don't pay out to Zambia
Gadgets and data are expensive
Limiting who can document and share their work
No hiring marketplace for local creatives
Only the connected few got called for events
Society discourages creative careers
Dance, art, poetry seen as hobbies, not income
Talented youth falling into negative vices
Idle time from lack of purposeful engagement
